life, love, and the journey

Sunshine & waves, a spunky horse and an old insane asylum were some of the elements of Kailey’s senior picture session. Her mom contacted me about coming up to take Kailey’s senior pictures and I had already been planning on being in Traverse City, MI visiting friends last summer; so it worked out perfect!

Such a gorgeous, sweet person with such a fun and upbeat personality! Had a blast spending the morning with Kailey and her family.

Hoping to post sessions from last year and some from this year as well over the next few weeks!

On July 5, 2014 I got to not only witness my big brother marry his best friend, but I got to photograph it!

Photographing a clients wedding is alone spectacular. Photographing someone’s wedding who you are very close to, is unexplainable. You are there for everything. You experiencing every important detail, every happy moment. You see and feel all the most important details of that day, and are very much a part of it all.

Josh & Ashley’s wedding day was a perfect, beautiful day on the Ohio River! It was a beautiful and relaxed event spent from morning until night around friends & family.

Chrissy & Ryan were married on a Saturday morning. It was a beautiful ceremony that united them together before God with a few close friends and family surrounding them. Chrissy is my oldest cousin and it was an honor to be able to capture her wedding day for her. I’m excited to see where God takes their little family of four. Ryan is a great dad to the girls, and husband to her; I’m so glad God brought them together! Enjoy your little sneak preview. I love your little family! ❤

This is my beautiful cousin Monica and her adorable boy Riley.(loving known as Roo-Roo by family)
She’s a senior this year and I don’t like it one bit, but it has to happen! Had fun driving around, making memories and taking some of her senior pics the other night. I’m not supposed to be editing or looking through these yet but I saw this one and had to share it!

Now back to editing more wedding photos. My life story for the next few months! Can’t wait to share them with you all!

Haley and Justin had a beautiful southern wedding. They had gorgeous weather for their day even though it had rained earlier that morning. They were united before God on a gorgeous plantation in North Carolina.
I took Haley’s senior pictures here in Indiana when she graduated high school. Life took her to the Carolina’s and a few years later she met her future husband and was contacting me to come and shoot her wedding! I was so honored and blessed to be a part of her special day and am so excited to be sharing a few of her wedding photos with you today here on my blog!

Let me just tell you, there is nothing better than having a friendship with the bride you are photographing! Everything goes much more smoothly when you are blessed to know personally the people you capture.
